“Cruise control stopped working a few months ago. Today I started getting the airbag warning light flashing on and off. Looks like I'll be dropping $500+ for a new clock spring. How is this not already listed as a recall?”
NHTSA complaint #10851152, filed 2016-03, 42,000 miles“When driving the 2010 Jeep Wrangler unlimited sport at 40mph and hit a bump the Jeep vibrates and makes you feel like you are losing control of the car. The only way to stop this is to hit the brakes and hope that you do not have to steer the car since you cannot when this occurs. I called the dealership and they had a name for this problem which is death wobble . I also noticed that my tires wear much quicker in the front then the rear of the Jeep.”
NHTSA complaint #10458946, filed 2012-05, 30,000 miles“While driving at 65 MPH, my Jeep started shaking uncontrollably and violently. I had no control in the car, the only thing I could do was push the brakes. I pulled my 6 speed Jeep into neutral and started slowing down and letting it glide to the side of the road. Still shaking as I am slowing down, the Jeep feels like the whole front end is going to shake apart. All cars behind me slammed on their brakes because they saw I had no control of my Jeep. A state police trooper followed me to the dealership. There is no broken axles, loose tires, tire pressure is good. …”
NHTSA complaint #10498361, filed 2013-02, 75,490 miles“E s p a deadly idea that is being forced upon us. May of 2010 I purchased a Jeep Wrangler unlimited. First weekend of september I had e s p failure. Took it to Jeep the following wed. They attempted to return it to me unable to duplicate, no parts replaced. The problem did not go away . E s p failures have been happening since 2007. A safety device to save you in a crash should not cause the crash. Only about 12,300 miles on the vehicle. Factory stock. No mods. Jeep buying back the vehicle will not protect me or my loved ones. The others will still be out there on the road. …”
NHTSA complaint #10355253, filed 2010-09, 12,370 miles“While driving, the horn stopped working along with the speed control and wipers and directional signals . The airbag light is illuminated. My Jeep Wrangler has just over 30,000 miles on the odometer.”
